I deeply appreciate the opportunity to help clients experiencing any physical or mental/emotional issue, whether acute or chronic, and also gladly offer treatments with the simple goal of a client’s general well-being.

Asiana has always felt a strong connection to the natural elements and how they interact in body, on earth. Growing up in the mountains of Colorado, with wilderness as her backyard, Asiana had constant access to exploring her environment. She recalls climbing trees, sitting in caves, adventuring with the animals and in the forest. All of this engaged her curiosity, and encouraged quietude, as well as agility of her mind and body.
It simply made sense that these experiences would bring Asiana into the practices of Yoga and Ayurveda, practices which facilitate a ‘deepening’ into the present moment.
After studying at the Ayurvedic Institute, as well as the School of Natural Therapeutics, both in Albuquerque, NM, Asiana received certifications as a Ayurvedic Lifestyles Specialist, Licensed Massage Therapist and Yoga Instructor.

I came to Core Synchronism after working with a psychotherapist that used Core in our work together. I found that I moved through traumas faster than with any other modalities I had tried. After this, I was hungry to learn Core and use it with my psychotherapy clients. This is what I do today. I join body based psychotherapy with Core Synchronism to work with anxiety, depression and trauma; and I love it!

Welcome to the experience of meeting yourself. As balance between structures and the emotional, mental and energetic fields of the patient is achieved, the possibilities for ever deepening levels of connection within the self expand and open, and a settling into oneself happens. Being in synch brings profound deep relaxation and spontaneous healing on many levels. Connection with the innate divine within and without and the sense and experience of oneness with all that is, along with the kindling of self-kindness and self-love, are the keys to transformation.

In 2005, I opened my office and have loved working with my wonderful clients. It has amazed me at the way my Occupational Therapy background has enhanced my practice with my familiarity and comfort with medical and emotional problems.

I am a 1980 graduate of the NM School of Natural Therapeutics. From the beginning of my education in holistic healing, I loved doing hands on energy work. For 16 years following graduation I practiced polarity therapy along with massage and colon therapy. Along the way I learned Cranial Sacral work and incorporated that into my practice. In 1996 I was fortunate to learn Core Synchronism, which has been the ultimate hands on energy work for me. I am certified in all levels and since learning the Core work, that is the only body therapy I practice. For more information please see my website at juliekongs.com.
